Color Bug Yarns- Fiber Giveaway!



As promised by the weather-man, I woke to a nice fresh blanket of snow this morning. Although still is inspiring and beautiful, I'm growing weary of the bleakness and wishing for the bright greens of my garden to appear.

If you're needing some color therapy like me, please check out Color Bug Yarns! I think Ann's store is the fiber equivalent of a candy shop! Many of her colorways are so cheerful and colorful, you can't help but be a little happy while looking over there.

Last month, Ann's inspiration for her Phat Fiber samples, was Eric Carle's books. We're giving away her "Beautiful Butterfly" corriedale cross roving as a giveaway! All you need do, is visit Color Bug Yarns, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Extra entries will be awarded to those who use twitter, ravelry, facebook, or other social media networking sites to help spread the word about Color Bug Yarns.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful dye-work with us, Ann!

    I just love everything in Colorbug's store. I just started spinning and I bought my first pound of yarn from her, in the Peacock pheather colorway.

    Ask me which one I DON'T love and there won't be an answer! I think I really love "Pigs in Space," though, b/c I'm a HUGE Muppets fan! The Beautiful Butterfly is also a favorite of mine, and I really hope I win!!

    Color Bug Hand Painted Sock Yarn - A Beautiful Butterfly is beautiful. I have been looking for a yarn to try Entrelac with. This is it! "A beautiful mix of purplish blue and rich brown. Will surely remind you of those first spring flowers!" This is the Hyacinth fiber. The description says it all.

    I am torn, I liked the Tidal Pool with the mix of turquoise, blue and purple. Corriedale is my favorite spinning fiber. But the Inchworm is lovely as well, reminding me that the "wearing o' the green" seasaon is right around the corner!
